    Depending on the kids ages, they also can ride, or ride in a trailer. The dog can ride in a basket or trailer depending on size

    Go for a Dutch style cargo bike and the kids and dog can ride up front in the tub

    Surely the real reason is the terrible bike infrastructure where you live

      We have some excellent bike trails, but getting around town is problematic. I work from home, so I no longer have to commute, but when I did, it was too far to reasonably bike. It’s not safe to take the kids riding on the highways, but we’re close enough to the elementary school to bike there when the weather is nice.

      I’m an advocate for biking, but it’s not a realistic replacement for a car where I live. You can’t load up like a pack mule every time you want groceries or to go to a little league game.
